Where I went to school...

I went to Khalsa School from Kindergarten to Grade 10 (although I skipped two grades somewhere along the way).

Since I left Khalsa School in 2000, the standarized test scores have fallen quite a bit.

I don't know what happened, but in this year's rankings of both independent and public schools, Khalsa School parachuted itself into first place, both in the Vancouver and Surrey branches.

Here's the first paragraph of the Vancouver Sun article (the rest is subscription only):

If there was a Cinderella finish in the last set of Foundation Skills Assessment results it belonged to the Khalsa school in Surrey, a traditional Sikh school that jumped from 199th in the previous rankings to a tie for first place.

Not only that, but when factoring in the parents average education, both the Khalsa Schools also topped the list of "overachievers".

I don't know exactly why - but I feel so proud.
